2020 Olympian Chat: Morgan Hurd

  When I first saw this little pint-sized gymnast at the 2014 Nastia Liukin Cup, I knew that little Morgan Hurd could go far, She has amazing skills, and she is so tiny! She is as tiny as a Chinese Gymnast, probably because she is of Chinese lineage.  Little Morgan was born in Hong Kong, and trained there for a little bit, ha, China thought that they had a 2020 Potential, but now the USA does. Anyway, little Morgan is so tiny that she doesn't even have to bend her body when transitioning from high bar to low bar! Wow! She has artistic beam work, a good sturdy vault, and good routines on bars and floor. Even though Morgan did not win the Nastia Liukin Cup because of difficulties with her routines, she was amazing. I can't wait to see Morgan when she turns senior, here are all her routines that I have seen, some of them might have been shaky, all of them were amazing

  In addition to dreaming about Tokyo 2020, Morgan also wants to write her own book, design her own line of leos, getting her own competition named after her, and just to chillax. She was amazing amazing! She can definitely go to Tokyo, and make all her dreams happen. Morgan is a huge name in the junior gymnastics scene, and she is only 12 years old! I can't wait to see Morgan in Tokyo, and making her dreams come true, because unless Morgan gets injured, or retires for some bizarro reason, she will be in Tokyo.
